Technology and Consumer Behaviour

20 May 2016, School of Business and Management, Queen Mary University of London

Organisers: Dr Danae Manika, Dr Panos Panagiotopoulos, Prof Thanos Papadopoulos and Prof Savvas Papagiannidis

The Marketing and Retail and the e-Business & e-Government Special Interest Groups of the British Academy of Management and the Marketing and Communications Group (MARCOMMS) of the School of Business and Management at Queen Mary University of London are organising a one-day joined workshop on "Technology and Consumer Behaviour" on Friday the 20th of May 2016 at the School of Business and Management, Queen Mary University of London.

Technology has changed the way we do business, the way consumers behave and communicate with other consumers and businesses, and the way the marketing field has developed in the 21th century. This workshop aims to provide an opportunity for researchers to share innovative research findings and directions for future research on how technology affects consumer behaviour and to provide the opportunity for researchers to network with colleagues in this field and showcase their work.

The workshop will feature a number of presentations with assigned facilitators who will facilitate discussions after the presentations. The event invites papers that use surveys, interviews, case studies or other methods that can advance our understanding of technology and consumer behaviour. Extended abstracts of up to 1,000 words should be sent by email to Dr. Danae Manika, by the 1st April. The abstracts will be used to select an appropriate set of papers that can lead to further networking and collaboration opportunities between participants. If you would like to attend without presenting please email Dr. Danae Manika to reserve a place asap for catering purposes.
